The Visbreaking process obtains more valuable lighter hydrocarbons by thermally converting the heavier, less desirable residual oils.  The process can produce a range of issues that need to be addressed, including foaming, corrosion, exchanger fouling, furnace coking and product instability.  Dorf Ketal offers unique chemical programs to address these issues.

We provide:

• Coking/fouling control in the heaters & preheat exchangers, while maintaining unit conversion rates & throughput
• Reduced deposition of asphaltenes
• Stabilization of asphaltenic species in the visbroken tar product
• Reduced foaming
• Corrosion control in the fractionator overhead

Delivering profitable, reliable results.
